Olyra saginata, new species, is described from the Kaladan [=Kolodyne] River system in Mizoram, northeast India. It differs from congeners in having the following unique combination of characters: interorbital distance 27.9-35.9% HL; 54-66 lateral-line pores; body depth at anus 10.5-12.0% SL; length of adipose-fin base 17.3-22.4% SL; adipose fin separate from upper principal caudal-fin rays; po...

Abstract. Let SL(2, q) be the group of 2× 2 matrices with determinant one over a finite field F of size q. We prove that if q is even, then the product of any two noncentral conjugacy classes of SL(2, q) is the union of at least q − 1 distinct conjugacy classes of SL(2, q). On the other hand, if q > 3 is odd, then the product of any two noncentral conjugacy classes of SL(2, q) is the union of a...

Martini, Sachse, Furtner, and Gaschler (in press) commentary highlights two points related to the relationship between workingmemory (WM) and sequence learning (SL): 1) how the functional distinction of WM can affect the results when investigating this relationship, and 2) how implicit WM might have a stronger influence on implicit SL than the traditional construct of WM does. We agree with Mar...

We studied in detail the binary cluster candidates SL 538 and NGC2006 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). This cluster pair is located in the northwestern part of the large OB association LH77 in supergiant shell LMC4. A third star cluster, KMHK1019, is located within 5 from the cluster pair. Our study is the first age determination of SL 538 and NGC2006 that is based on CMDs. We derived an ag...

sl 3-Foams and the Khovanov-Lauda categorification of quantum sl k. Abstract In this paper I define certain interesting 2-functors from the Khovanov-Lauda 2-category which categorifies quantum sl k , for any k > 1, to a 2-category of universal sl 3 foams with corners. For want of a better name I use the term foamation to indicate those 2-functors. I conjecture the existence of similar 2-functor...

This paper examines Chinese residents’ experience in learning English in the 3-D virtual world of Second Life (SL). With an introduction to the current English as a Second Language (ESL) education in China, ESL students’ demand for practice, I analyzed an online BBS created and maintained by Chinese SL residents and conducted interviews in SL to argue that there is an urgent need among Chinese ...

Transferrin has been considered to be an essential requirement for hematopoietic cell proliferation in culture. We have isolated two cloned lymphoma cell lines, SL 12.1 and SL 12.4, which grow and adapt in serum-free medium without added transferrin. Antibody to the transferrin receptor blocks the growth of these cells. We have also demonstrated that transferrin-free conditioned medium from the...

— A certain class of unitary representations of Uq(sl(2;R)) has the property of being simultanenously a representation of Uq̃(sl(2;R)) for a particular choice of q̃(q). Faddeev has proposed to unify the quantum groups Uq(sl(2;R)) and Uq̃(sl(2;R)) into some enlarged object for which he has coined the name “modular double”. We study the R-operator, the co-product and the Haar-measure for the modular...

The effect of spironolactone (SL) administration on 17alpha-ethynylestradiol (EE)-induced cholestasis was studied, with emphasis on expression and activity of Mrps. Adult male Wistar rats were divided into the following groups: EE (5 mg/kg daily for 5 days, s.c.), SL (200 micromol/kg daily for 3 days, i.p.), EE+SL (same doses, SL administered the last 3 days of EE treatment), and controls. SL p...
